The exhibit work will be for sale and a percentage of every sale made will be donated to The Cinnamon Trust, a charity supporting the elderly, terminally ill and their pets.

Entry to the exhibition is free from 11am to 4pm and is set to end on December 1.

The Northern Echo:

Priding itself on celebrating animal life, the Association of Animal Artists encourages its members to explore their passion for the natural world via any style or traditional medium.

Julie Cross, former chair of the AAA, said: “We are unique in that, not only do we welcome work of ANY animal, be it mammal, bird, reptile, fish or even insect, but, importantly, we also include the domestic animals we share our lives with, such as dogs, cats, horses and farm animals.
